0:10: Fun, fun weekend. Finally decided it was time to try to fly with a camera on my head. I actually managed to get video of other people skydiving with me. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Yep, 'll be organizing flocks and providing wingsuit first flight courses for those qualified. Hope to have some demo suits for birds that want to try something new. Wingsuiting? Did someone say something about wingsuiting? I guess since you guys are twisting my arm so damn hard Ill be there. It really would be nice to flock with more than like 2 effin people. Add millertime24 to the list. BTW, do you guys want me to bring some Utah beer? Seriously you can drink like 20 of them and not be drunk. You'll feel like a barroom hero! NO!!!! Ewwwwwwww!!!

0:24:0 My weekend was 8 fantastic days long and I managed to jump everyday. It took a bit of patience some days when thunder storms tried to ruin my fun, but........

Bad weather seems to be following me around this year. It was cloudy and rainy later in the spring in N.Ca than usual this year--and now that I've moved north, the dry, sunny season is again slow to make its appearance. reply] Hmmmmmm... You're in the Seattle are now, aren't you? Who told you they have a dry, sunny season?

I just booked my ticket and also registered for the boogie this week. I should arrive mid to late afternoon Thursday. Looks like I'll finally be able to get some serious jumping in 2010 in! I'm looking forward to jumping in some warmer air. It's been pretty icky here so far this year, not that it's slowed down my jumping. lol "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!

The WestPlains group aka "the Ritz" aka ritzville washington has about a dozen of us that are coming for sure ---- several still trying to work out logistics. This will be our 4th year at prairie.....people often ask me why we don't do something else...uhm "HEEELLLLOOOOOO it is Prairie - Need I say more?" Our group is usually down by Byranada ---if we get there early enough we will be setting up across from them like we did last year. Not only are there lingerie/nekkid jumps but there is usually quite a few tracking dives, the sunset crosscountry jump ---- the cock chorus/crack choir; the fire tower, lots of boobie flashing and poker games..... so many things to list there is just no way to do it. Sure hope you've got room for me again.

Booked my flight today! I can hardly wait. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

0:9: Nice weekend. Did jump #600 and jumped a 207 for the first time. I'm still undecided about the plane. The ride to altitude was a bit slow.

Cool. I'm trying to persuade some of the other Star jumpers to make the trip this year.

Way to go! Now keeping jumping!! It gets better and better.

I'm working on a few of us from Star making a trip that direction mid June.

Where in Montana are you going? I've got friends opening a dz any day now in the Bozeman area and there's also Lost Prairie near Kalispell. Absolutely beautiful country.

Think we could have practice not during the evening cross-country so this old lady could practice too? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

How about freeflying?! What I do is more like freeflailing, but I try periodically. I've managed a sit for a few seconds occassionally and did a bit of back-flying the other day. It has occured to me that I would probably have better luck with freeflying if I'd leave the rw suit with its booties in my locker, though.

He even had time to try to teach me something about CRW when I was in Austin a couple of months ago. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Still finding a few new things to try too, like CRW. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

0:8:0 Ahhhh,... finally some warm weather. I decided I had to jump in shorts and a t-shirt, so of course I ended up sliding in a bit and scraped my elbow. It was worth it though. That nice warm air felt soooooo good. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Got all of ya' beat. I did my first jump at 57 in October, 2007 and got my A as quick as the winter weather in Idaho let me. I've done a few since then. Sure is fun! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Congrats!! Amazing how fast they add up, isn't it? Keep having fun! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

CRW? Holy heck, Pat, them guys are bad influences. But it's so much fun flying my canopy. I just can't resist! "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

0:6: Fun weekend. Tried another CRW jump and realized I need shorter risers for the rig I bought to use for CRW. I couldn't reach the front riser dive loops. Jumped for the first time at Snake River Skydiving in Twin Falls, ID. Fun place and fun people.. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

Good thing I haven't booked yet. Who's coming up from Boise? You trying to get to Spokane from Boise or to Prairie? "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490

0:2:0 Had a great three days at a conference on the Oregon coast. Then got back in time Sunday to head to the dz for 2 jumps. "safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490
